 +Using the file utility one can find file types. Once the file type is discovered one will be able to find the tools required to work with it.
 +
 +Some files were uuencoded and needed to be uudecoded. I'm still not sure what occurs when they are decoded, though I know that the result is another file appearing.

 +
 +The return of the puzzle box.
 +
 +I found more uuencoded files to uudecode and made use of the cp and append to make a bat.
 +
 +I encountered some passwords, the final of which was perturbing -making blank space at the end of the password is a jerk move.
 +
 +I edited the C code provided to convert octal and compiled it to get said password and make the mentioned bat.

 +
 +Web Page Adventure
 +
 +I am creating a Web Page Adventure called Welcome To the Internet, I'll Be your Guide, which will lead one through some popular cultural aspects of the internet. Such mostly includes cats.
 +
 +As one traverses through the adventure they may also encounter some other less positive aspects of note from the internet. While one can not truly experience the internet with a filter, I managed to keep explicit content out.
 +
 +I ran into some issues embedding videos. Upon viewing embedded videos with the developer tools in Chrome I was able to find the information i needed and use ?autoplay=1 to autoplay videos when viewers enter the page.
 +
 +Making the pages was tedious and I'll likely not do such again.
 +
 +====Reflections on project udr0====
 +
 +Data recovery.
 +
 +This took some time to figure out -it was submitted late, though was quite enlightening.
 +
 +Explored hex editing with hexedit to view data in a file.
 +
 +Used bc to convert hex and octal into base ten to make use of the dd command, which only used base ten.
 +
 +Made extensive use of the dd command to extract and copy data from the corrupt file.
 +
 +I smell pork-chops cooking and it's making me super hungry.
 +
 +Used netpbm to edit the image data to find a taco cat, which is a palindrome.
 +
 +====Reflections on project sfp0====
 +
 +Scripting for fun or profit was not profitable, though after some frustration was found to be fun.
 +
 +Because of my lack of confidence with bash scripting I waited until the day the project was due to complete it, though such time was ample.
 +
 +For the project I made extensive use of if statments, variables and arithmatic.
 +
 +I also used source to pull variables from a file. Becuase source does not have a man page one must use "help source" to find information on it.
 +
 +I had issues comparing certain variables and had to use the -gt, -ge, -lt commands to overcome such.
